We can never repay them for all they do for us. People who mistreat these wonderful creatures are beneath contempt!
Something similar happened to my mom when she was very small, but the snake was a rattler, and the dog was a German Sheperd. The dog took the snake out.
Years ago, I was swimming in the Lake of the Ozarks with 3 friends when their grandparent’s dog started barking like crazy from the dock which we were very close to. We were in our early teens, and didn’t get the message. The dog (an Irish Setter) jumped in with us, and the next thing we knew (it happened so fast) the dog was on the shore. The water moccasin hanging from his mouth was dead. We all got out of the water very quickly.
Dogs are the most wonderful creatures God gave us.
“Dogs are the most wonderful creatures God gave us.”
No doubt about it. I echo what Will Rogers said: “When I die, I don’t want to go to heaven if there are no dogs there. I want to go where the dogs are.”
